Camacho negro
This dark Honduran cigar with its 50 ring and 125mm length, dark oily wrapper with some small veins is box pressed and has a nice simple band. The predraw is fine and the cigar has a salty, maybe even a briny aroma.
The cigar produces a full spicy tobacco and herb flavor but soon I could taste some leather while the herbs fade away. The leather gains some strength without becoming overpowering. The feel of the flavor is a bit dry. Halfway some herby chocolate comes to the palate, soon to be replaced by the leather & herbs & spices again. Close to the turning point the aroma becomes a bit creamy. The smoke is quite full, could have been a bit thicker though. The ash was pretty firm. Would I buy this cigar again? Yes, I was quite impressed by it Construction: 16 / 20 Draw: 16 / 20 Appearance: 18 / 20 Smoke & ash: 7 / 10 Burn: 16 / 20 Aroma (first part) 7 / 10 Aroma (middle part) 7 / 10 Aroma (last part) 8 / 10 |

Thanks for the review.

Re: Camacho negro
JR (or at least I think it was JR) ran a fantastic special on these about 9 mos ago -- about $40 a box, as I recall. Was that your source?

Re: Camacho negro
For one box. I think it was $50. Wish I woulda bought more, my other boxes were considerably more expensive. Great smoke though.

Re: Camacho negro
Wow...just lit one of these up.
Very impressed so far. Can't believe these were at 40/box at one time. I would have bought a couple fo sho. Def. recommend for those who like a bit a body to their sticks. |

Re: Camacho negro
JR doesn't have them anymore. Not sure if they're available anywhere else.
